The ESLC provides adults over the age of 18 with the very lowest literacy levels (less than 5th grade) classes and one-on-one tutoring through two programs: Adult Basic Education (ABE) and English to Speakers of other Languages (ESOL). All instruction is free and schedules are flexible. After successful completion of our programs, learners are able to move up to the GED and higher education programs offered by the Eastern Shore Community College.

The ESLC is a partner of  the Dollly Parton Imagination Library.  The Imagination Library provides specially selected age-appropriate books to registered children ages birth to age 5 residing in Accomack and Northapton counties at no charge to the families.
